I have long believed the Arcade Restaurant in Memphis has the best sweet potato pancakes I have ever tasted. Jospeh's gives them a run for the money and may actually be better. With the toasted pecan butter, it iwould be a shame to ruin them with syrup. The pepper, onion, sausage & cheese omelette was recommended by our server and it was also a great choice. The flavors of the ingredients melded very into a delicious taste treat. The 20 minute wait passed quickly, as Joseph's has outdoor seating and provides coffee & water while waiting. Foodwise, the only negative were the grits. Appeared to be instant with a slice of Kraft american cheese semi-melted on top. If you are familiar with grits, you will be disappointed; if you are not familiar with grits, Joseph's will give you a bad impression and you may never order them again. Our server was pleasant and great at taking our order and delivering it when it was ready; however, otherwise, for coffee & coffee refills, he was pretty much AWOL. Nevertheless, except for the grits, Joseph's is a ""must do"" for breakfast in Charleston.
Pros: Sweet Potato Pancakes & pepper, onion, sausage & cheese omelette
Cons: Grits & Service
